    Looks great what did you set the height to on the coilovers?

    Why would you have to crank the coilovers to go to 35's? The suspension still travels the same amount.

    Sounds good I'll probably be there Saturday Monday moving some more parts to the storage unit. Still have tool box rtt bumper and some other parts


    Yeah the ride was pretty shit so I lowered the collars and figured I'll just deal with short turns and rubbing the cab mount until I get a chance to chop it again.

    Who knows now, I have about 1.75" of threads showing at the top

    Don't have to for bigger tires but to help rubbing for the time being when you can't get around to cutting some more. More compression = more lift, of course the travel amount will be the same. I'm sure he knows that, he probably doesn't or can't cut his mount right now

    Picked up an AAL for the Dakars from Joe at Chi-Town 4x4, I figured once the rear bumper goes on I'll probably need a little more in the rear to help out. Also got to ride in his SC tundra, thing is fast.

    Also noticed that the rear was leaning to one side pretty good, turns out the pass front is sitting over an inch higher then the driver. Oops I guess that's what I get for rushing and not measuring


    Please work let me go to rock therapy

    So this happened driving back from Chicago last Friday, crazy to think that not even a year has come yet.

    You should have seen the faces of bystanders when I pulled into this parking deck, my antenna slapped every low hanging pipe

    And I've finally finished moving, now with the new place hopefully I can build some drawers for the bed

    No complaints, IL is pretty flat. Ive got some thinking to do before I re gear my stock rear end, mainly not wanting to spend the money on re gearing my stock rear end when I want something beefier/ ARB locker

    Fixed my compressor, relay went out on the 3rd time I turned it on. Got a hold of SPOD and going to send back my switch harness and switches for double lighted switches so I can put the finishing touches on my switch panel after I get that back

    So the rest of the pictures from the Badlands, I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked but ill be back and spend more time behind the camera. The other pictures were just some that I took at random a couple weeks back

    And today my bumper shipped out! still have to get the missing pieces such as spare tire for the 5th wheel Jerry cans and Hi-Lift but the bumper still has to head to powder coat so ill have a little bit of time.

    Using a Sony A55, I want to upgrade to a A7II but I would probably have to sell this camera to make that happen right now

    Alright so finally I got the bumper all finished up this weekend. I originally made the order with the standard bumper because I wasnt sure about cutting bedsides, well I guess it was one of those times where the thought was worse then just doing it. Measured once cut once, didn't fuck it up hah. Couldn't have asked for better customer service and an even better product from @Pelfreybilt
